MSI Geforce Ti4400 possible on K7T266 pro mb?

I am thinking of buying myself a MSI Geforce Ti4400 card to my MSI K7T 266 Pro motherboard. I know there were some issues regarding Gf4 cards, but as far as I know it only applies to the mx versions of the cards, or am I wrong here?
There aren´t any problems fitting the card to the mb I hope (like transitors in the way etc..).
Thanks!

Had my Creative (MSI) GF4 4600 on a K7T266PRO2 before switching to a KT3Ultra.. no problems.. The MX are not GeForce4 really..

  • USB drivers for Win XP K7T266 Pro

    Hello,
    i was wondering if someone could direct me to the Windows XP professional drivers for my USB ports. I am using a MSI mainboard with the VIA K7T266 Pro chipset. Whenever windows restarts it attempts to install the drivers. It says that the "data" was "invalid". I have tried downloading the service pack and it did not recognise the USB drivers and i cannot download these drivers from the MSI site manually. I have also tried using the live update function on the MSI site.
    Can i get another round of applause for windows XP! what a great product!!!  :(
    Please help....i need to install my new USB modem and its driving me crazy.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    It depends on the type of board you have.
    If it's the K7T266pro V1 then you better buy a PCI USB card as the ports give problems at 133FSB anyway.
    If it's the K7T266pro2 V2 then you need indeed SP1 for XP and let the ports redetect.
    The V1 board has a serious USB problem at FSB133 and can't be solved by BIOS or drivers.
    Only a PCI card or lowering the CPU-FSB can solve it.
    The V1 board is very old and only a few have been sold a long time ago and was quickly replaced when the problem was discovered.

  • K7T266 Pro R and Geforce 2 GTS problem

    Hello everyone. I have been experiencing a problem for some time now regarding lockups and crashes caused by my video card, which vary in severity depending on the driver version used. Since I'm using an MSI K7T266 Pro Raid mobo (version 1) I thought I'd post my question here.
    The exact problem depends on the driver version. Using any Nvidia Detonator drivers at version 40 or newer, my system becomes extremely unstable. On first booting everything seems fine, however if I try to open my Geforce display properties the Windows freezes during the redraw of the display properties window, which goes blank. Sometimes I can call up Close Programs Dialog, which shows DDHELP in the list, and [not responding]. I've never actually gotten an error message from DDHELP or any other error message -- perhaps the computer jams too hard for Windows to get one up. I've seen reports around the Net about DDHELP problems from things like DirectX 8.1, but they're never quite like my problem. The problem is identical on DirectX 8.0, 8.1, and on 9.0.
    No matter what I try to do in Windows with these drivers installed, the computer will lock up in seconds. For example, if I then open IE 5.5, I might be able to get as far as a page or two before the similar thing happens: during the window redraw the computer locks up (usually with a blank or partially-redrawn window), sometimes causing the mouse to lock and sometimes not, and then if I can get the Close Program Dialog open DDHELP has appeared and is Not Responding.
    The most stable driver version I've found so far is 29.42, which does not cause the lockup above and never causes DDHELP to appear. However, it is quite unstable as well, and causes Windows to lock up sporadically during 2D window redraws in various programs. For example, when calling up a Save Document dialog or when opening a pulldown menu the program will lock either before any of the redraw becomes visible on screen or when the new dialog box is "skeletal", only partially drawn. Sometimes the crash is severe enough that I have to do a cold restart on my system.
    The other problem is that sporadically garbage blocks will appear in portions of my screen, like old windows and color bands popping up that do not refresh. This often happens to me in Photoshop 6, and happens usually when I'm scrolling down a window or something.
    These problems with version 29.42 all appear to be 2d window-drawing related. I do not have any problems with 3d games with 29.42. However, the new reference drivers are so unstable on my system that I can't even try to open them.
    With 29.42, the most stable drivers I've found so far, some kind of lockup due to redrawing windows almost always occurs within an hour (sometimes minutes) of booting up.
    For what it's worth, dxdiag tests just fine.
    I was hoping someone could help me figure out what's causing the trouble, what driver I should use, and how to resolve it. If possible, I'd really like to use the newer drivers as I've been told they're much faster. In any event, I hate having such an unstable system where lockups could occur at any moment!
    Here's the lowdown of my system:

    i hope u can all help me. i feel that the win xp cd might be busted, but then again i am also concerned about problem #1 above. i feel that if i can install windows again i will have the same "spontanous restart" incident that first started and caused (i think) probelm #2
    pls help.
    thanks
    Anton ;(

    Hi!
    Really, I don't think this could be a hardware problem since WinXp takes more than few minutes to install, and you did it, then you installed drivers and SP1. Why did you format HD in the other PC ? I would try a new install, taking out all not necesary stuff, leaving only CPU, memory and video card and formatting again the HD. for a clean install; then go adding the other hardware one by one, installing it's drivers and rebooting each time. Finally before connecting to internet enable Firewall to prevent Blaster Worm ( Don't know if still is going around ). One thing: Be sure HD is well connected and configured: Master if is a slave conected to same wire..etc.- If again you get an error, I would look for a faulty HD.  8)

    On the same partition it is not a problem to install W98se.

    Memory seems okee, someone suggested that the VGA adapter is the problem, si I am going to find out.
    One problem remains: my motherboard doesnot seem to be able to hold the year; time and date is okay, but after one day, I find for example 2007, the next 2001 ans so one?
    Is this a known phenomena?

    same here, comparable setup. The SBLive is notorious because of problems with the bus, but I don't think that is it. I had to flash back to version 3.3 of the bios before I could do a normal restart. All later bioses have this problem for me!

    Hi All!
    I have a
    MSI  K7T266 PRO- RU motherboard, BIOS is the latest, official from MSI website,
    Problem short description: Windows XP (sp1 or sp2 english, I tried both)
    will not install when I set 2 x 40 Gig = ~80 Gig Stripe Array.
    detailed description:
    motherboard K7T266 PRO- RU  BIOS 1.9 AMI BIOS.
    AMD ATHLON XP 1700 + "Palomino" microprocessor, at default speeds.
    one piece of 512 PC 3200 RAM, can tell details later.
    Power supply: 400 W CODEGEN model : 300X.
    HDD-s : one IBM deskstar, fully functional, and a SEAGATE barracuda. seagate SEATOOLS, IBM DFT 32 no errors both.
    I set in the FASTTRAK 100 LITE "PDC20276R" (written on the chip) bios a STRIPE array. Powerquest drive magic , or the Windows XP CD handles it fine , as a 80 gig disk.
    I downloaded ALL available versions of the FASTTAK 100 LITE driver from the MSI website.
    (only tried: MSI driver FASTTRAK 100 lite, the only available driver on the MSI website, and various drivers from www.promise.com) ( http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=15&category=driver&os=0&go=GO ) (but I guess they WONT support my raid controller on the motherboard)
    Windows XP CD , booting, Press F6 for additional RAID /SCSI drivers, I put in the floppy, choose WinXP fasttrak lite driver, windows continues, even formatting the 80 GIG disk, copy files- access the FASTTRAK.SYS driver, EITHER it says: no fixed disk present, press F3 to exit windows setup, or windows setup continues, copies files, reboots, and then STOP ERROR

    please, help me with the following:
    how to install XP on a raid array.
    is it worth, will it be little bit faster disk load times etc?
    is it secure if I trust the HDD-s?
    any clue, how to overclock the AMD 1700+ athlon XP palomino to its maximum, but still stability?
    AND : I read a lot about some MOD-ded BIOS called " KUNIBERT"  , which makes the LITE raid to a FULL RAID and some other extras? where to get it and what to do?
    email me if you can    martin5   "at"   freemail.hu
    THANKS !

    pardon me, dump? my english is not very perfect.. you mean to trow away, replace to something better, more stable power supply, more powerful?
    you must see... first I would like to resolve the "installing XP on a raid array" problem,( how is it possible, is it worth, will it speed up hard disk access and load times... etc... ) and after that maybe I  will OC the machine...
    it is now , with a 8 cm ventillator and a large aluminium cooler 39 Celsius IDLE and goes to 45 Celsius during EVEREST benchmarking test. (temperatures on 1700+ default setting and OC-'d to 1900+. just experiencing with it. ) (I saw the toms hardware guide movie , smoking processors..)

  • NEED HELP! Modem keeps disconnecting w/K7T266 Pro & WinXP

    My system:
    K7T266 Pro
    Athlon 1333MH
    256Mb DDR 2100
    MSI GeForce 2 MX, 32Mb
    Zoom V.92 internal modem
    SB Live! 5.1
    2 x 80Gb Maxtor HD
    LiteOn 16x12x40 CD-RW
    USB mouse
    340 W Enlight Power Supply
    This system worked fine on the internet when I was running Win98.  I upgraded to WinXP and now the modem keeps disconnecting shortly after connecting (but it always connects for a short period of time).
    Here's what I have tried:  Reloaded WinXP Home Edition on a newly formatted HD using a clean install (not an upgrade) and the NT file system.  Loaded the latest MSI 4-in-1 drivers and upgraded Bios to latest version (v1.9).  Reloaded all the software.  Got all the latest XP drivers and WinXP updates.  Have tried 4 different brands of modems, internal and external.  Have tried modems in different PCI slots (currently using PCI slot 3 with SB in slot 4).  Have tried modem on different Com ports (currently using Com 3).  Have tried slowing down the com port speed.  There is no IRQ sharing with the modem.  Have tried different phone jacks and cords (the same ones that work fine on the older HP Win98 computer I am writing this on).  Have tried 2 different ISPs (currently using CompuServe).  Have reloaded the ISP software several times (trying different versions) and currently have their latest XP version - ISP says others are not having this problem with their software (have spent hours with their technical help with no resolution).  Not using any ad blocker or anti-virus software (yet).
    Nothing I have tried has made any difference so far.  Am I missing something?  I don't want to go back to Win98!
    Oh ya, another minor annoyance:  My system freezes after sitting idle for a while, even though the Windows power scheme is set to Always On and no screensaver.  Otherwise, everything else works fine.

    Hello everyone,
    I was gone for a few days, but when I got home I was very happy to see some more posts to this thread!!
    Last night I tried disabling the SoundBlaster (with the Windows System Device Manager).  I disabled both the sound card and the game port.  The modem was still disconnecting.
    Until now I hadn't heard of Via chipsets and SoundBlasters not getting along well with each other either.  I had, however, previously tried another sound card - it was an older Diamond Monster card I had, but I couldn't find a WinXP driver for it.  It didn't work well at all with WinXP.  So back to the SoundBlaster Live! 5.1.
    I did find a cure for the other problem I mentioned.  I noticed that the SoundBlaster and all 3 USB controllers were sharing IRQ 10.  I removed the USB optical mouse and tried a PS2 ball mouse.  That solved the problem where the system was freezing after sitting idle for a while.  I sure liked the optical mouse better though.  This same problem may have been related to another one I noticed.  When playing audio CDs, sometimes the sound would stop momentarily and then go on again.  I haven't yet had a chance to see if removing the USB mouse solved that problem as well.  I have also noticed that the volume of audio CDs are controlled by the wave volume and not the CD volume.  Is this normal?  I have both the analog and digital cables connected and the CD digital setting enabled.  It's very annoying, since turning the volume up on audio CDs causes the Windows wave sounds to blast me out when they play.  I don't know how to set the SoundBlaster to use one of the other unused IRQs - can anyone tell me how to?
    I haven't yet tried the PCI latency patches, because I wasn't too hopeful after seeing that it didn't work for Philipponnat.
    Now for the Bios.  I have always had my Primary Graphics Adapter setting on AGP.  The onboard modem and audio settings have always been set to disabled.  I was excited to see that Philipponnat found a cure for the modem disconnections with the PCI latency setting.  When I went to my computer to do the same thing, I was disapointed to find that my Bios does not have a setting by that name, either in the PNP/PCI configuration or anywhere else.  The only thing I found that looked related was one called "PCI Delay Transaction" in the Advanced Chipset Features section, but the only settings available are enabled or disabled.  Mine was set to disabled, but I couldn't tell any difference when I set it to enabled.  Maybe we have different boards - mine is version 1, but I have flashed the Bios to the latest version I found, v1.9.
    I have noticed another strange thing in the Bios.  The Bios no longer detects the power supply fan speed - it always reads zero RPM in Bios even though the lead is hooked up.  The other fans show a reading.  The power supply fan used to show a reading when I first put the computer together.
    I also have S.M.A.R.T. enabled.  I have 2 identical hard drives.  They are Maxtor 80Gb 7200RPM ATA133 drives which are S.M.A.R.T. capable.  Only the primary drive (master on the primary IDE) displays S.M.A.R.T values in SpeedFan.  The other drive is set as a slave on the secondary IDE (my CD-R-RW is set as the master on the secondary IDE).
    There have sure been a lot of wierd things about this motherboard.  Thank you everyone for your input so far.  Still need more help!!

  • Problem with new MSI GeForce FX 5900

    Just bought a new MSI GeForce FX 590 TD-128.
    I removed previous drivers and video card, installed the new video card and attached the power cable, and booted my machine.
    When I boot the machine I get no picture....just a blinking cursor in the top left hand side of the screen.  I thought maybe it was a power supply issue (350W PSW), so I tried installing the video card in another machine with a 400W PSW.   I get the same darn blinking cursor    X(
    Anyone have any ideas what causes this?  Do I have a defective card?

    Are both those boards AGP 3.0 ??
    I have a Soyo Dragon K7V Dragon+ and a ECS K7S5A.  The website for the Soyo board is:
    http://www.soyo.com.tw/products/proddesc.php?id=37
    It mentions a Universal AGP Pro Slot and support for AGP 1X/2X/4X...but no mention of AGP 3.0.
    The ECS board is at:
    http://www.ecs.com.tw/products/pd_spec.asp?product_id=192
    and only mentions AGP 4X support.
    Does the FX 5900 only work on the newer motherboards maybe?

    If it doesn't work on any board then it might be bad, but 350w and 400w don't mean much so it's also possible you have a power problem.
    Both power supplies are made by Antec.  Seems unlikely that neither machine would even boot...but I've seen stranger things
    Ideas?

  • Msi geforce ti4200vtd 64 (PCI MODE)???

    specs:
    athlon xp 1700+
    msi k7n420 pro mobo
    msi geforce ti4200 vtd 64 video
    256 pc2100 ddr
    Using either msi or nvidia drivers, I can't get this out of pci mode.  Both card and mobo support 4x agp mode, but it only runs in pci mode.  Using msi drivers, changing to agp seems possible, but any check in the white box just disappears.  My 3dmark 2001se scores are about half what they were on a cheaper mobo using a 1gig duron.  Yes, the cpu settings are fine and it's running at its normal speed of 1.47ghz.  Nothing is overclocked.  

    jeez, you are quick....thanks
    i had the msi drivers, and it wouldn't let me change to agp anything... I uninstalled them and went to the detonator drivers, and agp is disabled in the ti4200 properties under the agp settings,
    I dont see a place to enable it, and the slide scale to choose rate (1x,2x,4x?) won't move either.

    I've tried every place that "says" they have a Debian package for AIR.  Even though the discontinued it, why isn't it archived on the website somewhere? Unless something about how the program operates makes Linux exploitable..... THAT IS SPECULATION.
